From: Barrister Michael Chan <[email protected]>Hello Dear,

Subject: From Michael Chan.
It is obvious that this letter will come to you as a surprise as we
don’t know ourselves before, but be rest assured that it is real and a
genuine business. Before I proceed, I must apologize for this
spontaneous mail to you. I am aware that this is certainly not a
conservative way of approach to establish a relationship of trust, but
you will realize the need for my action. First, I must solicit your
confidence in this proposal; this is by the nature of it as being
utterly confidential or top secret.I am Barrister Michael Chan, a
British lawyer by profession. I am the Attorney, a legal adviser to
Mr. Rafik Hariri, Born in Lebanon in 1944, The late Rafik Hariri was a
Lebanese self-made billionaire and business tycoon that travels all
over the world, and was five times the Prime Minister of Lebanon. You
can view this site for confirmation.

I decided to find someone that is real and not an imaginary and that
was why I went for a secured site where i can be sure that the person
is for real. Mr. Rafik Hariri deposited the sum of 36,000,000 million
British Pound Sterling in a bank herein London which was not traceable
after his sudden death because there was no next of kin or business
partner on the time of deposit.The bank had contacted me on many
occasions over the past years to present the supposed Next of kin to
my late client.This fund has lasted more than expected period in the
Bank security vault, and the Bank has issued me a final notice to
present the next of kin to my late client or the account will be
declared un-serviceable or confiscated by the Bank treasury due to the
ongoing Bank reform here in London to implement the announcement made
by Prime Minister some years back which stated that some of the money
held in dormant accounts would be used to fund youth and community
projects for you can confirm this in the BBC News website below:
<Link to BBC> business/4017381.stm
The British Government is now making every efforts to confiscate all
dormant account that has been more than ten year. Arrangement is on
top gear by the British Government to use the money in dormant
accounts to fund production of Vaccines to be distributed to the less
privileged ones and other humanitarian services during this present
pandemic.I need someone I could trust to channel this money as next of
kin/Business partner to the deceased. Though I know that a transaction
of this magnitude will make any one apprehensive and worried. But I am
assuring you that; all the legal documentations to back up your claim
as my client’s next of kin, I shall provide. All I require is your
honest cooperation to enable us achieve this goal. I am convinced that
the intended transaction is 100% risk free, that you should not
entertain any atom of fear, the fact is that I just don’t want my
late client funds to be declared as unclaimed fund by the Bank
management or be confiscated by the government, as a result of the new
Bank reform which all the Banks in London will soon start to
implement.
It is upon this discovery that I decided to contact you on this
business, Permit me to ask you this few questions,
(1) Can I completely trust you?
(2) I am ready to offer you 40%? While 20% of this money will be
shared among charity Organizations, the remaining 80% is shared
equally between us. I will use my position as the client’s attorney
to guarantee the successful execution of this transaction.
Upon your response, I shall provide you with more details about this
transaction; also you should understand that this should be kept very
confidential. However, if this business proposal offends your moral
ethics, do accept my sincere apology, or if on the contrary you wish
to achieve this goal with me, kindly get back to me with your interest
for further details with this Email { [email protected] }.
Thank you so much.
Barrister Michael Chan
